JHB - Watch the William Nichol offramp climbing off the N1 from the Sandton side. Smash and Grab incidences are frequent, and the perpetrators hide behind or pass themselves off as vendors. They seem to be adept at stealing cellphones from hands free kits! Also 2 young ladies are running a scam asking motorists for 'petrol money' as their car has broken down! (thanx to William G)

JHB - In the Midrand Region (Gauteng) - upon taking the New Road Offramp (at the robots, turning left). The area is dark, there are no lights. When approaching at night and you are the only vehicle, switch your brights on and then try and yield as that robot is red for a while !!! I've had an experience there, but fortunately I was wide awake and managed to avoid trouble! (thanx to Fundi)
